What's your latest aquisition?


Here's my latest purchase, a Tri-ang-Hornby R.754 M7 in BR Black livery.

The box was tatty, crew were missing and the BR totem transfers on the tank sides were part missing as per normal.

The model is slowly being restored, a fresh box mint was found on ebay with incorrect labels (the one on the right) and I have crew and original totem transfers a plenty in stock, I will post stages of the restoration at intervals for all my friends on here to see as they take place.

Here's the loco pre-restoration but with nice new original 40+ BR Totem transfers put on the side tanks, a packet of the original transfers is posed by the loco for reference.

Hope all at Hornby like what I am doing to their old locos.


Enjoy!

That's true PP. I only found 3 places with the Castle in stock, one was 25 and the other 35 quid more than where I got it plus free p&p.

Anyone can offer the lowest price in town, when they're out of stock...

 

Agreed PP, just what I thought when I read it.

 The hornby R4790 GWR Autocoach. Although this is basically the old Airfix model with plastic wheels the paint finish is much better with crimson droplight frames. Slight downside is that the wire handrails come in a separate packet to fit oneself. However that means I'll soon be looking for these as separate spares to replace thos that have fallen off my Airfix and Mainline ones!

 

I would also like to thank Hornby for listening to me about the packing tape which was plain and nothing on it to say it was Hornby - much better for security.
